How do I test mobile vs desktop conversion performance separately?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to understand how different devices impact my store's conversion rates. I know mobile and desktop users behave differently, but my current analytics don't give me a clear picture of performance variations. I need a systematic approach to analyze conversion rates, identify device-specific bottlenecks, and develop targeted optimization strategies that improve performance across all platforms. How can I effectively test and compare mobile versus desktop conversion performance?
